finnbricker Posted September 8, 2014 A wonderful MOC! I love the details, the windshield washing equipment etc. I would like to see more of the shop's inside. It sits very nicely with the modulars even if it's not a building. Do you have an estimate of the piece count? Wouldn't it be great if TLG did one proper modular a year PLUS one set with a smaller piece count (say max. 1000 pc) that would complement a Modular City? I agree with Glendo, this would be a great set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruxtpin Posted September 8, 2014 This is fantastic Superfunk! Great inspiration and looks great next to other modulars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toxicbananna Posted September 9, 2014 spot on! you will know that is a Shell Station just by browsing it!! great job!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ItsaBRICKS Posted September 9, 2014 This is great! A gas station is definitely lacking in the modular layout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ritzcrackerman Posted September 9, 2014 The tight fit is actually very realistic. I've seen a number of gas stations (in the USA) that are like this; corner lot, barely any room to move around. In fact, I just saw one in a historic small town in Oregon, called Mt. Baker while driving through a few months ago. We stopped to fuel up at a Shell station, and it looked just like this! Hardly any room to drive through at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mechamike Posted September 9, 2014 Nice work, and really good job with the stickers that really lifts the moc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted September 9, 2014 This is awesome! Love the attention to detail, like the different coloured pump hoses and the steps down to the back of the Palace Cinema. The diagonal tiled floor looks great too. Love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venunder Posted September 9, 2014 Very good petrol station and great decals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
talos Posted September 10, 2014 Really great job, I like it a lot too. I see many of the parts and the car came out of the City Garage set. I might be interested in doing something similar with mine some day. I love the colors, very crisp and realistic like a Shell station would have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superfunk Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks everyone for the nice comments! A wonderful MOC! I love the details, the windshield washing equipment etc. I would like to see more of the shop's inside. It sits very nicely with the modulars even if it's not a building. Do you have an estimate of the piece count? Thanks! There's a couple of more pictures of the inside of the shop in my Flickr album. A rough estimate of the piece count ist about 1400. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gifinim Posted September 14, 2014 The amount of detail you've managed to cram into this MOC is amazing, and the lighting on the third pic is perfect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Withacee Posted September 14, 2014 How did I miss this? Great build, superfunk! The shop and the equipment are brilliantly done. Love the recycling station with electricity unit as well. Keep clicking those bricks together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks, lightningtiger! I checked, but the last building contest was limited to 32 x 32... Hadn't seen your Coles station before, my inspiration mainly came from Google (such as here or here)...

andyscouse Posted September 18, 2014 Love it! Hmmm ... I feel a re-crafting of my standard 1256 and associated store coming on ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ilikeboomerang1 Posted July 10, 2015 Hey, I'm sorry for bumping this thread, but I was going to ask you, do you have instructions for the station in PDF form? I would like to have some so I can Bricklink the parts. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horsecreek Posted July 11, 2015 Brilliant build. It captures all the essence of a gas station. I'm very facinated by the roof light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rail Co Posted July 12, 2015 I really love the design of this Gas Station! I wish that Lego would make a more of them because they recently haven't! Where are the Lego figures supposed to gas up there cars?!?! Well absolutley perfection of a model, really love the addition of lighting. Would you be able to show a more in depth picture(s) of that shell truck I spotted! Impeccable Job! -RailCo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
